Danny Danon accused Antonio Guterres of distorting reality after the UN chief labelled Israel’s deadly attack on a Nuseirat school run by the UN Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA) “unacceptable”.

“What is ‘unacceptable,’ Antonio Guterres, is the fact you refuse to recognise reality and continue to distort it,” Israel’s ambassador to the UN wrote on X.

“Terrorists operating out of civilian buildings previously used by UNRWA are not ‘innocent.’ It is unconscionable that the UN continues to condemn Israel in its just war against terrorists, while Hamas continues to use women and children as human shields,” he added.
